The Orange also need to get a little redemption in the Big Apple on Tuesday night.

Syracuse has lost four of its last five games in New York City between MSG and the Barclays Center.

3-point problems

Where have you gone Andrew White?

Syracuse got away with its struggles from beyond the arc in wins against Toledo and Maryland but could not against Kansas.

Syracuse missed 21 of the 27 threes it attempted against Kansas (22 percent). The Orange was outscored 33-18 from the 3-point line. The Orange missed 12 of 15 three-point attempts in the first half alone.

Devonte Graham was a one-man wrecking crew against Syracuse and the Orange were helpless to stop him.

Graham scored 35 points against Syracuse, matching a career-high set in Kansas' last game against Toledo.

Graham shot 7-of-13 from 3-point range, hoisting shot after shot right over the Orange's 2-3 zone.

It wasn't just shots Graham was floating over the Syracuse defense. He connected with teammates on several lob passes, giving ESPN plenty of good choices for the Sportscenter 'Top 10. '

First Half Fail

Syracuse's offense was stagnant in the first half against the Jayhawks.

The Orange settled for too many threes and managed a mere five field goals at the break (5-of-21 overall), scoring just 21 points.

Frank Howard and Tyus Battle went a combined 1-for-8 from the 3-point line in the first half. Howard had to sit a good portion of the first half in foul trouble.

"Our offense, we kept shooting ourselves in the foot with offensive fouls. Had some good shots and opportunities in the first half and we let them get away," Boeheim said. "In the first half, it was just really bad offense."

Howard Washington, a freshman who had played in just three of Syracuse's first six games, held down the fort. Washington didn't hurt Syracuse; he had no turnovers but isn't on the same level to help the Orange the way Howard can with his commanding play as of late.
